Every morning after i start my car i drive down the street and it stalls mid traffic. it does it multiple times. i have to drive around my neighborhood til vehicle stalls 4-5 times then drives ok. safety issue. i have noticed that some of the cars have been recalled but not mine
6 speed manual clutch gave kick back behavior where the shifter jumped out of gear while driving. this happened 3 times in one day while driving. once turning onto a busy rd at green light, after changing gears getting into highway the next, 3rd was as i was driving on side road after turning onto it a minute prior. already up to speed. then within a few days (4) the clutch went out completely with no usability. now it is stuck. large repair costs. i have been quoted up to 4,000$ for all repairs because these cars have a repeated history of this happening with no aftermarket parts that would be more solid to replace it with. oee parts have to be defective! i financed this vehicle late august 2019 and mid december this occurred quickly and is an absolute loss at the moment.
When putting the car in park, the car doesn't turn off. we brought it to the dealer to get a recall done, but the problem was never fixed. i think dodge just sent the notice and lied about how to fix the problem. the dealer, suresky, wanted to charge to have the diagnostics done on the car, but since the recall was never fixed, i don't want to pay for the diagnostics. the same problem still exists.
My shifter cable has broke on my car. i'm being told there is a recall on this part but there is nothing dodge can do about this until november due to not having a part yet. therefore i am stuck with a undrivable 2014 car that cant be fixed and no one will do anything to help me fix it nor will they put me in a rental until the part comes in. i've also been told they cant do anything to get the car back on the road until the part comes in. i'm confused as to why i have even gotten a recall notice on a part dodge can not fix or why they cant at least get my car fixed enough to be on the road until this part comes in. this will be my first and last dodge and i will file a complaint with the bbb as well.
Vehicle made weird noises as soon as it was put in drive shortly after being turned on. was driving on a 45 mph road when i could no longer accelerate after the first gear while turning into the freeway. was forced to pull over and restart the vehicle which was able to put into first gear and after second gear began to rev up an no acceleration happened. was unable to make it to work and tried to test it 'out again, but unfortunately its still failing. my vehicle is undrivable and now need to pay out of pocket for repairs of a recall that is still "pending". mine & my children's safety was on the line. we were lucky it was not rush hour. i have attached the letter i received from the fac us llc stating this is a defected vehicle. which is a letter in accordance with the ntmvsa.
My dodge dart has an issue where the battery light will turn on and then the car will turn off while it is in use. this issue began around 1 year ago and has been sporadically happening since then. my mechanic exchanged my battery but the issue persisted and he has been unable to find a cause. upon doing some research this is a common problem with dodge darts. when the oil gets low the car will shut off when in use without an indicator light showing the oil is low and despite the oil life percentage not being critically low (it was 17% the most recent time it happened to me). this is extremely dangerous because it happens abruptly and the steering locks up while the car is shutting off.
I have been having difficulty shifting gears after the car has warmed up. this has been going on for about 2 months now.it has gotten so bad this past week that it almost left me stranded 40 miles from home when i had stopped for fuel. i had put it in neutral with the emergency break on, and it just would not go into any gear when i tried to leave.after cooling for about 20 minutes, i finally managed to catch a gear and go. sometimes, it will slip out of first or second gear into neutral, while in motion. this morning my husband attempted to move it into the garage due to a storm approaching and he could not get it into any gear and the clutch stuck to the floor. we have not driven it since yesterday, so it wasn't even warm. my husband and i pushed it into the garage.
The back up camera and interior screen have both gone out. out of nowhere. the screen fluctuates between working and turning itself off mid use (not only for the camera, but during driving as well.) the screen has been malfunctioning for quite some time now and the camera has gone down about 6 months ago.
On april 17, 2019, when arriving at destination, i attempted to shift gears into park. however, gears shifted into reverse permanently. i called my siblings to assist with getting the car out of reverse, the handle would move but the gears would not change. the only way we could get the car to stop was with the emergency break. we turned off the ignition, but all lights stayed on and we could not remove the key from the ignition. the only way to get the key out was to unhook the battery. i contacted the manufacturer the following day on april 18th, and they advised of a recall for shift cable bushing. i asked how long the process would take, they stated they would mail a letter to advise how to set up appointment, they would have to order parts. i called back on april 25th to inquire once again about how long the process usually takes, and they did not advise of a time frame. i advised the representative that my car cannot be driven at all, and asked if i were to get a rental car or get my car fixed myself would i be reimbursed. the representative advised that there is no guarantee. i've contacted the manufacturer once again on may 8, 2019. representative advised that the part has still not been ordered and there is no estimated time.
The car started randomly shutting off, at a stop or wouldn't start all together. after about a week of random stalling and shut offs, i took it to a mechanic. he said that it has a manufacturers defect where the car thinks it has low oil, it doesn't even have to be low. have been adding oil and checking consistently for about a month and recently it refused to turn on. got a jump and the car started. had the battery and alternator checked at auto parts store , car started up no problem, and both were fine, battery fully charged. not more than 10 minutes after testing the car would not turn on. jumped it and it started, drove home. again, tried to start it a few hours later and nothing, needed another jump. used a scanner to check for computer issues and nothing came up. after driving the car about 10 miles, shut it off and again needed a jump. the car seems to just shut off or not start for no real reason. one mechanic could not figure out the issue, the other had it a couple of weeks before blaming the oil issue and now this. no recalls on this car, already checked the vin number. not sure what to do about this car at this point without spending more on it than it is worth. 2014 dodge dart, 98,000 miles
My car was parked. i turned my car on and pushed the brake, my shifter would change to different gears on the lighted display but would not actually go into reverse, neutral, drive. my car was stuck in park. upon examination from a mechanic my shifter cable was loose and this had to be repaired. i have seen numerous complaints with this same issue upon online research. i called the dealership and was told this was not part of my warranty. this would be a safety issue if this was to come loose upon my daily commute on a busy interstate. i am concerned for my safety if my vehicle was stuck in drive or reverse. i am thankful this time i was in park,
My car pop in to neutral it want go into park or drive, it's staying in neutral the key want release because of the car being stuck in neutral.
Purchased 2014 dodge dart from subaru of cherry hill, nj dealership 5/2019 @ 44,000mi. used. excellent carfax. since ownership, vehicle has stopped twice; once while slowed down to make a left turn, and again while stopped at a red light. battery light did not come on either time. 3rd time vehicle didn't start after being parked for approximately 10 hrs. needed to be jumped. after first incident of stopping, vehicle was towed to mechanic; couldn't find problem. battery checked out as ok. oil change performed at 47,351mi. also, since being purchased, a slightly sweet smell comes out of fan. does not go away. concerned that the vehicle will stop while on a highway, causing a multi-vehicle crash. this seems very unsafe. upon investigation, no recall was noted. dealership called to discuss further without response. this is a very dangerous situation and there needs to be a recall. many other drivers seem to have the same issues when searched online. please help! most recent episode was 2/13/19.
Transmission slips into neutral while driving causing the car to lose mobility causing a major safety concern.
The car turns off when at a stop especially when making a right hand turn or slowing down. the car gives you no warning no lights come on it just turns off. the car has been at the mechanic for over a week and they can not diagnose the problem becomes it comes back on after 3-4 attempts. this is a extreme safety concern for that it turns off completely when at a stop or a light. this can cause a accident and the problem can not be diagnosed yet.
I recently purchased my dodge dart 2014 in august of 2018. i purchased the car with around 26,000 miles on it. great condition, excellent mileage, no accidents, and only one owner. i have only had the car for 5 months. i use it mainly as a commuter car. it started having issues almost as soon as we got it. they were first minor things. until november 2018. my cars battery died and refused to start. i had to replace out of pocket due to it not being covered by warranty. it was having issues starting, i thought that it was due to it being cold (because it would be fine once it heated up), so at first thought nothing of it. it would start up and i would drive it less then a mile, i would start to slow down and everything would shut off. the heater and the lights would still be on but it would loose acceleration and the battery light would come on. it will do this multiple times until the car is warm(even then it will continue to do it afterward). rpm drops to zero, check engine, electronic throttle control, and battery light all come on. this is a safety hazard due to it stopping in traffic, on the highway, and in intersections. something needs to be done about this issue. i have read up on this issue and see that i lot of people have this issue. my car is currently at 24% oil life, i will be testing to see if the issue is resolved(temporarily) like others have been. due to fear of it not being covered under warranty i have not taken it to the dealer. they quoted me at $400 dollars for everything that could possibly be wrong (based off this information they have an idea of already what is wrong with the car. they still want me to come in and try to charge me for it because it most likely won't be covered by the warranty.
My vehicle is not listed under the recall for transmission control module failure although it did shift into neutral and caused my vehicle to be inoperable. if the transmission shifts into neutral, it can cause loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. my vehicle was stationary being shifted into drive, after the shifter was moved the vehicle immediately moved into the neutral positon and would not move up or down in order to park it. the emergency parking brake was pulled in order to keep the vehicle stationary and the entire side of the car where the issue was had to be removed, i.e the battery and the compartment that holds the battery in order to gain access to the faulty part and to be able to remove and install a new part. my vehicle however did this because of a faulty shift bushing part that has withered away after only 4 years. the cable unexpectedly released itself from the bushing.
Car stuck on nuetral. car won't return key. the key is stuck in the vehicle while the vehicle remains on nuetral.
Car keeps stalling on road and not starting. this is an issue that needs to be rectified. several others have reported the issues as well as far back as 2016. dodge needs to do something on behalf of customers to clear this horrible safety hazard.
It became more consistent in 2017, my car would stall driving it anywhere from 25 mph -75 mph, some days the steering wheel would lock and the car would turn off and i'd have to wait until it was ready to be back on, just recently multiple times i have had my car turn completely off going 75mph, the dashboard turns off the steering wheel locks and the car shuts off, some times it turns off for not even a minute before it turns back on. other times i've put my car on cruise control and it's turned off minutes after being set. was told to change the oil more often which i did at maximum of 3000 miles, on a 2014?! this time (its been several several times already) my car turned off and wouldn't turn back on, tried jump starting it for almost 3 hours and it did nothing to the car, the car didn't budge. the dashboard would flicker on and off and all the switches would go crazy including my windshield wipers that weren't event on in the first place. used a car battery charger to see if it helped at all, 12 hours later still nothing. i have a two year old and this car is way to dangerous for me to feel safe in!!
I bought a used 2014 dodge dart act in september 2017, in late december early january i brought car in to the dealership because it kept stalling out. they looked at it and said it was because the oil was low. fast forward to may. i'm on the way to the store and my car stalls out while i'm driving with my 4yr daughter in the car. i got it started back up after a few mins but it stalled out after a min. then again later in the night 3 more times in less then a quarter mile. this apparently is an ongoing issue amongst other dadge dart owners. this problem could kill people and dodge is doing nothing to rectify the situation.
I bought my 2014 dart brand new in january of 2015. as of today (4/9/18), it has 47,200 miles on it. i was taking residential roads to drop my daughter off at school, slowing to stop at a stop sign and turn right. i thought i slowed too much and needed to slightly accelerate to get me to the stop sign. when trying to accelerate, i realized the car had stalled, but all inside lights and radio were still on. the "battery" light (charging system light) came on and stayed on until i turned the car off. i tried to restart the car, but all it would do was try to turn over. i know it's not the battery, as it was replaced less than 6 months ago. all terminals/connections to the battery and alternator are not loose. after trying to restart the car twice, it finally started on the third try with hesitation. from there, i was able to continue to the school (less than a mile - it's only 1.3 miles from my house to the school). when i got back home, i let the car sit for roughly 2-3 minutes and restarted it again - no hesitation. after looking for answers online, i've found at least 34 identical problems with no explanation and no help from dodge/chrysler. (except for one or two engine replacements). (carcomplaints.com) i am scared to drive my car to work, as i don't want it to stall on the highway and get in an accident, especially because i have two children that are picked up from my work. this is only going to cause a fatal accident if something isn't done about this. we've had nothing but problems with this car (radio freezes and restarts intermittently, transmission will shift hard, etc.).
Car shuts off while driving, all electrical loses power. checked recall, nothing posted. it started about 1 month ago, happens once a week. check the forum and there are numerous complaints listed about this issue. dealership wont return call.
My son was driving his car to his friends house. when he arrived he parked his car. about 30 min later when he was ready to leave the car would not switch gears. luckily my friend is a mechanic and he checked out the car and said it was the transmission control module. my son has only had the car for a few months. i looked online and several people have been complaining of the same issue. when i checked the system said there were no recalls for that vin #. i believe this issue needs to be addressed and people like me who have had to come out of pocket to fix this issue should be reimbursed.
My vehicle shuts down while driving. i have a battery under warranty. i've gone to the store where the battery was purchased twice and was told the battery and alternator are good. i've had two different auto mechanics check my car and was told the same as the above. one mechanic told me when he applied a diagnostic tool to my car, several factory codes come up. i was told to take my car to a dodge dealer service center, which i plan to do on monday 2//12/18. i'm filing this complaint because my neighbor's friend and my sister's male friends girlfriend both own dodge darts and are experiencing the same problem. our cars will shut off while driving. my battery indicator light comes on, however when tested, the battery and alternator indicates they are okay. as i said above, i've had the battery and alternator tested at least four times. each time i experienced this problem my car was in motion on a street.
This is a beautiful car however i have been smelling a chemical smell similar to melting plastic or rubber sinve i purchased it in january at 39,000 miles. my passengers also smell it. the dealership did not and they did not investigate further. now the smell has gotten worse and is more like antifreeze and melting plastic. the smell happens most noticeably after exiting the highway and comingvto a stop. my passengers all notice it. i ride with the windows lowered slightly to bring in fresh air. also the air conditioning has been turning on on its own, the backup camera recently stayed on for about a half mile after i changed from reverse to drive and began driving. also their seems to be an occasional delay in accelleration whin shiftng gears.
When the engine is shut off the key will not come out of the ignition until the gear shift knob is jiggled. this is reoccurring frequently over the last year.
My veh 2014 dodge dart sxt as i was driving was stuck in drive & couldn't ge it out of drive or take my key out but as i go online to see has any other dodge dart been havin this problem & it was a lot of vehicles havin this same issue i could've wreck my veh while drivin but i guess whom ever made these vehicles doesn't care because the dealership stated this is 1 vin# that isn't covered under recall but my vehicle is doin the same exact thing as the other dodge dart
2014 dodge dart ralleye sxt stalls while driving. i have had the battery and alternator tested. the alternator test always yielded a passing score but the battery score was off and on. i had the battery replaced for that reason and still have issues with the car stalling while driving. i've taken it into the dodge dealership and left without a solution. the car stalled in several places but mainly when i am slowing down at a stop sign/light or behind backed up traffic.
My 2014 dodge dart aero 1.4 turbo will go into limp mode and i have to stop and turn my car completely off and restart is it has done it several times now and i've taken it to 2 or 3 different dodge dealerships and they say they cannot duplicate the problem i am having.
The car was dying at lights, onramps, offramps, just basically anytime the oil sloshed around enough to lose oil pressure and shut off. after 4k miles, 40% oil life left according to the monitor, the oil doesn't even register on the dipstick, had to add 2-3 quarts. went to dodge dealership, dealt with chrysler case #'s and reps, was promised a fix and never got it. oh yeah, the dealership tried to charge me hundreds of dollars. had to argue with chyrsler corporate for weeks to get them to pay. is it burning? leaking? it's a manufacturing defect for sure. the epa would have a field day. their emissions are probably completely out the window if they are burning that much oil, or releasing it into the wild 1 drop at a time. i've never seen any accumulating oil in the garage or my parking spot at work.i don't think the epa would like knowing barrels more of oil are being used than advertised. also, the car has stalled in the middle of an intersection with cars coming up behind me. it's always been to/from work or something like that, and never with my kids and family in the car. but you'd have to think that's a huge lawsuit/tragedy waiting to happen, and yet chrysler completely says that's within reasonable spec. where the hell was this "spec" when i purchased the car? the new sticker didn't say "great gas mileage, awesome nav unit, burns 1qt of oil per week" on the window. 20 year old cars have oil level sensors, and warnings about that. why does this new age car, not have an oil sensor on it to at least warn us of impending doom when the car stalls making a simple turn? there was a dealership franchise chain down in phoenix completely replacing people's engines for free with the 2.4l tigershark (i think some jeeps and fiat's have them as well). i also heard rumors that somewhere along the lines of 30% of 2.4l's had the piston rings in backwards?
At 51000 miles the battery wouldn't stay charged needed an alignment at 2k miles per the dealer not covered under warranty at 46000 miles the ac compressor blew and discharged all the coolant the car was shaking right after the ac repair and smelled like rotten eggs dealer blamed it on a spark plug
Started having issues when i started leasing it in 2014.it has been taken into the dealership at least 7 times now, due to stalling out. everytime i take it in,its because of the same issue.it stalls out at all times,whether it be pulling out of my driveway in the morning,turning slowly around the corner,driving on a local side street going 30 mph, when i started to brake before a speed bump, going 60 mph on the highway, i can keep going. each time i have been given the run around, problem can't be duplicated, so lets guess. pcm replaced a couple times as well as the flash updates performed, pcv valve replaced multiple times and it still stalls out. have even had to pay for a battery because they stated that was the issue before and it wasn't so i had to pay for a battery when i could have used that money for something else as i am in a tight budget as it is. as of today, the vehicle was taken to the dealership, again, (i have been to two different dealerships as well) as of today, my pcv and map sensor replaced, again. i was told from an individual from corporate that he told the dealership he wanted them to keep the vehicle to try to replicate the issue. apparently that was not done which i will certainly be addressing with him and request be done.since the first time i brought it in, which was within the first few months of having it, there always seemed to be an issue with it being "low on oil",every single time. i think that should have raised a red flag the 3rd or 4th time i brought it in. they are playing a guessing game, not being loyal and fair.this is a huge safety concern and it needs to be taken off the market, completely. i think they are just doing anything to buy time because my lease is almost up,not fair. i already have legal counsel standing by. when someone gets killed, then they will worry about our safety.how many complaints will it take.
In the past two weeks my car has stalled out 3 times and it has been unable to start back up. i've had the battery replaced and mechanics cannot determine the issue. the stalling has occurred between 2-5 minutes of driving and always while in motion. this has happened to me in the middle of morning rush hour on city streets each time and i have been lucky enough to pull over to the side before losing all momentum and being stuck in the middle of the road. when it stalls out all the dashboard lights flash on and the engine died. two of the times happened after making a 90 degree turn, and one time it happened after just going around a curve in the road. it also seems to occur as i am accelerating or decelerating. when trying to turn it back on, the lights and electronics will turn back on but the engine will not turn. i have noticed several complaints for the same issue and i have looked up my vin on the nhtsa website but it is not under any recalls. i have already spent $265 + aaa towing fees on this issue. the three dates that this has occurred to me are: 3/17/17, 3/24/17, and now 3/27/17. i am keeping all my receipts and i will contact aaa to show the proof of their towing/service.
Clutch pedal does not return from depressed position. i was driving on the freeway and as i was going to get off an exit to work i went to downshift from 5th gear to 4th and my clutch pedal stuck to the floor. i was able to just barely get to 4th gear but when i went to stop on the exit at the red light the clutch was still stuck to the floor and would not release. the car wouldnt move after that. i got it parked in a gas station parking lot and checked all fluids ect. with no sign of anything wrong. eventually i was able to get the clutch to release and parked my car at work. i then had my dad and brother come pick the car up since i commute to work and cannot afford to have this happen in rush hour traffic on my way home. the car ran fine for the majority of my drive. i am very frustrated as this could have been a catastrophic incident.
The transmission control clutch keeps dis engaging causing the vehicle to go into a neutral position and will not allow the car to move...this has happened 4 times with this vehicle.
Driving down the road, car shuts off. pull to side of the road. smoke coming from under the hood, so i open the hood and flames. fire department had to put it out total loss. this has happened to several of these cars, one young girl almost didn't get out in time. i hate to think if you had kids in the back in car seats if you could get them out in time. these cars burn up quickly. the insurance and the dealership told us its a manufacturers problem. chrysler has given us the run around for 3 weeks now. they sent out an inspector and he wouldn't give me any information. now i keep getting an answer machine. i will send you our pictures. these are web-sites where people have reported this problem. we haven't put our incident on there yet. i wonder how many people haven't? read this guys story. www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/dart/2014/engine/engine_fire.shtml this girl almost didn't make it out. www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov crash:no fire:yes number of injuries:0 number of deaths:0 manufacturer: chrysler (fca us llc) vehicle identification no. (vin): 1c3cdfbb2ed... summary: our daughter was driving our three-week-old dodge dart. it began smoking as she exited the highway and, within seconds, she lost her ability to brake and steer. the car was completely engulfed in flames within 1-2 minutes and is a total loss. she was able to get out without physical injury but was extremely shaken. the fire department put out the fire. we can provide pictures of the fire, showing the flames shooting many feet into the air and the car encased in smoke. *tr
The last 6 months my car in the morning has clutch problems. i start it and my clutch will stick to the floor until i either use my foot or hand to bring it up. then i will have to pump the clutch multiple times until it starts working. it feels like a sponge until it get pumped multiple times then it finally feels like it is working normal. the last time it happened was this morning.
Brakes don't seem to be working properly. i have contacted the local dealer and they stated they don't have the repair for the recall although they know it's a problem?
Driver's side rear wheel bearing shot after 39,000 miles. loud humming noise when driving on the highway at first. i drove on it for a couple weeks and the noise got louder. i jacked the car up one day and the wheel wiggled a pretty significant amount. replaced both rear bearings in my driveway after calling the dealership and having them tell me the parts were not going to be covered under warranty.
While driving my 2014 dodge dart 2.4 tigershark engine, the vehicle shut off. the battery indicator light came on all electronics inside the car were still operative. i had a wrecker take the car to the dealership. diagnostic test showed lost communication with the body control module. looked at oil and it was low. i was told by auto technican that the auto shuts it's self off when it is low on oil. this is a very alarming situation if it would shut off while driving on the freeway in traffic i called chrysler and reported this. the call center stated that she had 2 people call the day before and 3 on the day i called with the exact problem. she said all the cars had over 20,000 miles on them.
I'm experiencing lost of engine torque when shifting on first gear due to clutch operation components parts not working properly. in one occasion i was making a right turn into the intersection, when i engaged first gear and try to shift to second gear the clutch wouldn't disengage or come back to at-rest position. it felt like air got into the hydraulic system making a loose clutch line connection during the release of the clutch, after i hit the pedal with my foot a few times i was able to make the clutch pedal to come back to at-rest position. this was a very scary experience since my kids were riding with me.
July 14th, 2014 i bought a dodge dart vin [xxx]. the car was properly maintained. did not have problems with the car. while driving on may 8th, 2015. on i-75 going about 70 miles per hour with thick flow of traffic. i heard and felt something crack on the front driver side of my car, under my feet. the car immediately pulled left and hit a concrete barrier wall. the car then bounced off a toyota prius. i landed in the ditch on the right side of the highway mile marker 299 in pasco county florida. my first complaint is whatever broke to cause the accident. which i cannot be specific about because i don't know if it was the axel or what yet. taking note that no one was hurt. my second complaint is that not one of my 6 "advanced"safety airbags deployed in my cab after hitting two objects at that speed. as to why i do not know what broke yet. i called for dodges roadside service, i was picked up and rode with my car to the nearest dodge dealership. jim browne citrus chrysler jeep dodge ram, in dade city. this dealership did not have a body shop. i was told by the manager at the dealership my car would be towed to the body shop they used. as my car was under warranty and the accident report reflects mechanical error. after this day i would not see or know where my vehicle was for 46 days when the towing company called me about storage fees for my car that we couldn't locate. vin incorrect information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *jb
The vehicle has a manual transmission. my vehicle revs when attempting to shift it. the clutch will be completely up and the vehicle will still rev as if it is engaged. at this point there is nothing that can be done until it stops revving. it also grinds and clatters when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear. very rough shifting and sometimes experience a burning smell after its driven.
The panel that protects the underside of the front portion of the car rubs and detaches with contact with standard road objects (slopes, parking stumps, speed bumps, etc.). as a result the protective cover is destroyed and hangs beneath the car and causes a safety hazard to the driver and to other vehicles on the road. possible safety hazards include but are not limited to: flying debris on road way, excess exposure of car parts to roadway and weather elements, front bumper falling off, hoses on underside of car breaking from impact with road and more. specifically, this happened to my car when i was entering a parking lot that has a slope and the front underside became loose. i believe the underside became loose because of the fiber glass fabric that keeps it in place which ripped (shown in pictures). it continued to occur each time i enter any parking lot that has a slope to enter and continually got worse.
